Sex in Retirement
On the other side of the spirit is the body and its well-being. Other sections of the BBRC website cover many health topics, but one topic especially relevant to well-being is sex, which we will cover here. In a recent study researchers reported that most of us remain sexually active into our 60s and nearly half continue to have sex regularly into our early 70s.
But the study also found that many older people also report struggling with sexual problems such as reduced desire and erectile difficulties. The report found that women were significantly less likely than men to report being sexually active from age 57 on. Women were more often without a partner and were more likely to say they no longer derived much pleasure from sex.
Modern medicine of course can help with a number of these problems, especially for men as we all know from the all too frequent television ads for Cialis and its competitors. The hormone testosterone is also in wide use and improves male vigor. You should consult your personal physician about any of these problems and their solution.
What is less known is that remedies are in the works to as drug companies and researchers race to develop a libido enhancer for women, a very large — and underserved — market. Click here for an article on this subject. [DiscoveryHealth]
